Have we reached half-million nodes? (Was: For the front page?)

-1 - I really don't see the point. Sure, it's a milestone, but there are more important sites to be featured.

While that's definitely cool from a geeky point of view, I'm personally not convinced it's worthy of front-page promotion, especially when we've got a number of other stories in the queue awaiting review and/or approval. The one millionth node, OTOH, that's a different matter entirely ;-)

Of course, that's just my opinion, and I'm more than willing to defer to other folks here if they feel differently.

Not yet :/

mysql> select count(1) from node where status = 1;

Do we have an update query on the half-million node mark?

changing title

Regardless of whether we've reached the half-million mark or not, I still don't think this should be a front page story, for the reasons outlined earlier in the thread.

It's currently 507178.

And I agree with George - it's not really of front page importance.
